After Action Report
The Pacers upended the Jazz 139-135. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
